Chronic Sinusitis

I was diagnosed to have chronic maxillary sinusitis about two decades ago. And since then operations were done, a septum was removed, and numerous nasal cleaning was done. To this day, the pain and discomfort of this chronic sinusitis still haunt me.

I was down with severe sore-throat and nasal congestion a week and a half ago. Went to our home doc. Medicines and antibiotics were prescribed. Yet the symptom turned worst. Then i turned to the specialist. A different set of medicine was prescribed. Augmentin (antibiotic) was given. And now, after a week, I'd finished up the course of antibiotic. But the symptoms persisted: Sore-throat, nasal congestion, thick yellow mucus discharge....

I begin to get worried. The pain and discomfort affected my job performance. I can't focus. I'll have to go to the specialist again, and might end up with operation. Sigh....

More information about chronic sinusitis is available at this website.

[CJ] I did my first operation in 1991. Then I was ok for more then 6 years before the symptoms creeped back slowly. I was told that sinus cannot be cured.

[rerama] thanks for the info. I'm at another ENT when typing this comment. See what would he advice. Yes, operation will free us from the unbearable alrite, hopefully yours will last u much longer then mine.

[Harrie] Hey bro, welcome to my blog and thanks for the suggestions. I did went to the specialist, now under medication. I was operated by Dr. Wong Howe Tung from Kuching (now at Timberland medical centre of Kuching).

Hello Josh... stumbled on your blog while I was desperately searching for some decent food in Bangi. Anyway, I wanna recommend sikit a product that will relief your sinus problem. It's called 4Life Transfer Factor, it's all safe & natural & 100% side-effect free. Feel free to do some research on the product (check out Transferceutical Science) & if you're going to get it, which I'm sure you will after reading up on it, get the light blue btl (Advance formula) which is purely transfer factors. You can buy with my boy's membership ID to get the membership price =P You should start feeling significantly better in less than 3 months after consuming the product rajin-rajin.

Get in touch with my boy if you're interested. charles25@gmail.comGood luck with the sinus...
